So if you think fishing is fun, but you can't do it because the waves created by the boat that just blew within six feet of you doing 60+MPH are making you think too much about survival and not enough about fishing... too bad, because the boat driver is just HAVING FUN, and his fun is more important than yours.
And if you enjoy bird-watching, but can't do it because the sound waves created by that same driver are scaring all of the wildlife within two miles... too bad, because that boater is just HAVING FUN, and his fun is more important than yours.
Or if you enjoy sitting on the dock and talking with old friends, but you can't do it because trying to yell over the roar created by that same driver has caused you to lose your voice... too bad, because that driver is just HAVING FUN, and his fun is more important than yours.
Or if you enjoy swimming, but can't do it because getting more than 10 feet in front of your dock puts you in the path of that same driver, who might or might not be looking where he is going... too bad, because he's just HAVING FUN, and his fun is more important than yours.
Or if your kids think skiing is fun, but they can't go because that same boater is zipping carelessly along, back and forth over the path you'd like to pull the skiers on (and that's not to mention the huge waves he's making)... too bad, because he's just HAVING FUN, and his fun is more important than that of your kids.
Or if you DON'T think making dock repairs is fun, but you have to, because the constant pounding has popped every board off your dock, too bad... that driver is just HAVING FUN, so you just have to do something not so fun, because what he wants is more importjant than what you want.
Or if you don't enjoy picking up the beer cans and other litter that have floated up to your shoreline, you do it with a great big smile on your face, because that litter came from people who were HAVING FUN, and that's what it's all about.
Or if you enjoy shooting the goats on Goat Island every fall, that's OK, because you're just HAVING FUN, and that's what you're saying-- as long as YOU are HAVING FUN, anything goes, regardless of how it affects other people.
Fun is great; fun at the expense of others is just plain rude. Back when people realized that, the world was a much better place. So was this lake.
